I'm a Viking!

Conversation overheard behind me as I'm leading 6th graders on a fieldtrip at work yesterday:

Kid#1: She has an accent. I wonder where she's from?Kid#2: Who? The guide?Kid#1: Yes, of course. She talks like someone from another country.Kid#2: You're right. I think she's like ... from Europe, maybe?Kid#1: I know. She's from one of those countries way up there, in the North.Kid#2: You mean, like a Viking?Kid#1: Exactly. She's a Viking.

I call Alaska home, but am originally from Germany. I'm incredibly lucky to have a job as a naturalist, teaching and hiking the great outdoors. My family:
The Prof (my husband);
